I have 2 work events next week that fall on DD's (Mon & Wed). There will be lots of food and I know I won't have a successful DD. So I was thinking that in my reading it is better to have 2 UD's in a row then 2 DD's in a row. So is this how you would do it?

Yes, that would definitely work, Lynne. The only other thing people sometimes try is a MD between a DD and a UD in order to change their schedule. If you did that, Friday would be a MD (60% on the JUDDD calculator).

I have tried doing MD's recently because of too many work/family/holiday gatherings, but they always seem to turn into UD's and occassionally UUAD's. I am finding DD's much easier to control...once I start eating, my OFF switch seems to get stuck in the open position! I agree with you Colleen...I wish I could do them!

2009: Lost 58 lbs on Wendy Chant's Conquer the Fat Loss Code
2013: Gained almost all of it back! Ugh. After 6 weeks and 18 lbs gone on CTFLC again, trying JUDDD to see if I can stick with it for the long haul!

If I need to flip, I'd rather do a UD-DD-MD-UD-DD (than an UD-DD-UD-UD-DD
It's easy for me to go from a DD to a MD to an UD since I'm usually not starving hungry on an UD.
The MD pattern gives me 900 fewer calories than the double UD..
(counting 1800 for UD, 900 for MD and 350 for DD)

This is generally how its recommended to be done. By going UD-DD-MD-UD you're heading into that DD fully fueled by the previous UD. As opposed to trying to do UD-MD-DD - that leaves you pretty vulnerable on your DD for the munchies!!

I am personally in the "hard to stop once I start eating" camp so I try to go a whole DD without eating until the evening. So an MD could easily get out of control for me. Having said that, there are several who do MDs with great success.

Love how flexible and forgiving JUDDD can be!!

i just tried to do two DD's in a row. the second DD turned in to a MD, which i typically can not do. i think the trick, for me anyway, is try to do a DD, and let it naturally evolve into a MD. when i go into it thinking MD, it turns into an UD.
